Detailed Solution

The Indian National Congress (Congress Party) is the oldest political party among all the parties currently existing in India. A.O. Hume established it in 1885. The first chairman of the INC, or the Congress, was W.C. Banerjee, and 72 delegates participated in the first session of the Congress. As is clear from the time of the formation of the party, it was before India got its independence, and it had a major role to play in India's freedom struggle. Major freedom fighters like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel belong to this party. However, before the Congress was formed, other political associations like the Indian Association existed in India.
